Linus Dahlander
Assistant Professor
Linus Dahlander joined ESMT European School of Management and Technology in January 2011 as an assistant professor. From 2006 to 2008, Linus was an assistant professor and an Advanced Institute of Management Research Fellow with the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Group at Imperial College Business School in the UK. From 2008 to 2010, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, where he worked on the Mimir project that explores how networks shape ideas led by professors Dan McFarland, Woody Powell, Dan Jurafsky and Chris Manning. Linus received his PhD in Technology Management and Economics from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden in 2006.
His research investigates how new ideas and innovations are developed in networks and communities. Linus is particularly interested in situations where problems are increasingly complex and a large number of individuals collaborate to advance a knowledge frontier. This research seeks to understand how these communities and networks unfold over time when individuals are distributed and autonomous – self-selecting tasks and collaboration partners.
